NXP TWR-KE18F
#############
Overview
********
The TWR-KE18F is a development board for NXP Kinetis KE1xF 32-bit
MCU-based platforms. The onboard OpenSDAv2 serial and debug adapter,
running an open source bootloader, offers options for serial
communication, flash programming, and run-control debugging.

+-----------+------------+-------------------------------------+
The default configuration can be found in the defconfig file:
``boards/arm/twr_ke18f/twr_ke18f_defconfig``.
Other hardware features are not currently supported by the port.
System Clock
============
The KE18 SoC is configured to use the 8 MHz external oscillator on the
board with the on-chip PLL to generate a 120 MHz system clock.
Serial Port
===========
The KE18 SoC has three UARTs. UART0 is configured for the console. The
remaining UARTs are not used.
Accelerometer and magnetometer
==============================
The TWR-KE18F board by default only supports polling the FXOS8700
accelerometer and magnetometer for sensor values
(``CONFIG_FXOS8700_TRIGGER_NONE=y``).
In order to support FXOS8700 triggers (interrupts) the 0 ohm resistors
``R47`` and and ``R57`` must be mounted on the TWR-KE18F board. The
devicetree must also be modified to describe the FXOS8700 interrupt
GPIOs:
.. code-block:: none
/dts-v1/;
&fxos8700 {
int1-gpios = <&gpioa 14 0>;
int2-gpios = <&gpioc 17 0>;
};
Finally, a trigger option must be enabled in Kconfig (either
``FXOS8700_TRIGGER_GLOBAL_THREAD=y`` or
``FXOS8700_TRIGGER_OWN_THREAD=y``).
Programming and Debugging
*************************
Build and flash applications as usual (see :ref:`build_an_application` and
:ref:`application_run` for more details).
Configuring a Debug Probe
=========================
A debug probe is used for both flashing and debugging the board. This board is
configured by default to use the :ref:`opensda-daplink-onboard-debug-probe`.
Early versions of this board have an outdated version of the OpenSDA bootloader
and require an update. Please see the `DAPLink Bootloader Update`_ page for
instructions to update from the CMSIS-DAP bootloader to the DAPLink bootloader.
Option 1: :ref:`opensda-daplink-onboard-debug-probe` (Recommended)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Install the :ref:`pyocd-debug-host-tools` and make sure they are in your search
path.
Follow the instructions in :ref:`opensda-daplink-onboard-debug-probe` to program
the `OpenSDA DAPLink TWR-KE18F Firmware`_.
Option 2: :ref:`opensda-jlink-onboard-debug-probe`
--------------------------------------------------
Install the :ref:`jlink-debug-host-tools` and make sure they are in your search
path.
Follow the instructions in :ref:`opensda-jlink-onboard-debug-probe` to program
the `OpenSDA J-Link Firmware for TWR-KE18F`_.
Add the arguments ``-DBOARD_FLASH_RUNNER=jlink`` and
``-DBOARD_DEBUG_RUNNER=jlink`` when you invoke ``west build`` to override the
default runner from pyOCD to J-Link:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
:board: twr_ke18f
:gen-args: -DBOARD_FLASH_RUNNER=jlink -DBOARD_DEBUG_RUNNER=jlink
:goals: build
Configuring a Console
=====================
Regardless of your choice in debug probe, we will use the OpenSDA
microcontroller as a usb-to-serial adapter for the serial console.
Connect a USB cable from your PC to J2.
Use the following settings with your serial terminal of choice (minicom, putty,
etc.):
- Speed: 115200
- Data: 8 bits
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1
Flashing
========
Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application.
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
:board: twr_ke18f
:goals: flash
Open a serial terminal, reset the board (press the SW1 button), and you should
see the following message in the terminal:
.. code-block:: console
***** Booting Zephyr OS v1.14.0-xxx-gxxxxxxxxxxxx *****
Hello World! twr_ke18f
Debugging
=========
Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application.
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
:board: twr_ke18f
:goals: debug
Open a serial terminal, step through the application in your debugger, and you
should see the following message in the terminal:
.. code-block:: console
***** Booting Zephyr OS v1.14.0-xxx-gxxxxxxxxxxxx *****
